I don't really know but lets play their advocate. Probably they are stuck in academia market or really research market because that is who they know and this is their target audience. Moving to more enterprise context would cost them effort, they would have to hire enterprise sales people and spend money on making new connections. Then to gain real foothold they would have to implement security/auditing/SSO and other enterprise requirements. Which would be quite heavy investment and quite high risk one, because they will never know if any of it will be useful. Like they get first customer, roll out all of that and then growth stagnates and maybe they are stuck on 2-3 customers who keep making demands, but there is no growth to cover for the "enterprise features" investments. Keep in mind also that not everyone wants to be a unicorn, if they are happy with what they have and roll with it, it is also fine.
